You deserve far more subscribers.

Thank you Kanadier 1749, that is greatly appreciated! You can help that out by spreading the word!!

Beautiful fall colors there! It's been such a warm few months here in NC so we're behind schedule. It seems like you all sell the Toyotas and Hondas on one lot and maybe Chryslers and Fords on others because it looks like a huge automotive dealership you've got going. From one of your biggest subscribers, keep up the good work!

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

We have been so fortunate to have a gorgeous fall this year kbw1970, many have been commenting on just how vibrant the colors have been and the length they have stuck around. You are very astute! We sell Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda and Ford. Ford/Mazda is on one lot, the other three are separate, though all right next to each other - we are "one Grappone" here. If you are ever up here visiting, stop by, we'd love to meet a subscriber!!

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Great review. Couldn't agree more on this

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Thanks Mr. Mazda!

Does it have Bluetooth for iPhones?

[@bebe4235]

Thinking about trading in my '14 Chrysler 300C for this. i hope it's the right decision

[@canaanpryor7145]

bebe4235 how’s it turn out?

[@arthurchik029]

Спасибо за обзор! Очень красивый, идеальный городской автомобиль за свои деньги для девушки! С нетерпением ждём начала официальных продаж в РФ.

[@fahimaziz7593]

very very nice review . appreciate

[@johnledbetter7618]

Excellent review

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Thank you!

[@kotmark]

Thanks! Very good review style: simple, natural, detailed. Subscribed. Maybe, I'd like to see a bit of off-road capabilities, since the car is AWD.

[@conniemarquez104]

I like your videos however it be nice if you show a little more of the inside of your vehicles from the inside..

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Thanks Connie. I have been getting that feedback on a regular basis and have been trying to integrate more and more of the car and less of myself. Check out our 2017 Honda Fit EX-L review and let me know if that is more in line with what you are wanting. Of course don't forget to let me know!

[@delphiniapickett2934]

Considering buying one. Just be me and one asult son. We may drive to Arizona from TN. We are use to small SUV but rather have a small for the famiky will down size in two years. I rather not drag a larger car anymore. If so this will be my first new car.

[@preludefugue4859]

Is there a big difference between 16" wheel amd 18"wheel? My dealer told me the height of the car is fixed, so there is no difference except the looking... He also mentioned that the smaller wheel is safer than the bigger wheel in the winter time if you drive on a snowy road because smaller wheeler has less touching surface to the road.....

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

There are the obvious differences such as looks and snow traction (taller sidewalls typically help cut through snow better). You will notice a difference in handling between the two, the 18" rim has lower profile tires and thus less tire to compress giving a better feel in corners. The 16" rim will be less expensive to put new tires on however. Either choice has compromises - just have to choose which is best for you!

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Mazda should redesign this CX3 to make it a bit roomy and a bit longer at least at par with Honda HRV or the new Nissan Kicks.

[@KaneTheMessiah]

I totally agree! Also, if the CX3 had the new Mazda center console, infotainment screen and the new steering wheel this car would be a no brainer for me. At the moment I mean more keen towards the Mazda 3.

[@RedMango55]

Just get the CX5 then! lol

[@Msleelee9487]

nobody rides in my back seat so would not bother me

[@Msleelee9487]

I am digging this car!

[@MrSyriaMoon]

Is that true, that mazda cars get body and wheels rust in CANADA?!

[@msj56]

what about the 2016 CX-5?

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

msj56 what are you asking about the 2016 CX-5?

[@michaeljjensen]

How is the acceleration? Is it spirited or does it just get the job done?

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Michael, spirited is not how I would describe it. It gets the job done without a problem but this is not a pocket rocket.

[@vitalisjakubauskas9567]

Pocket rocket begins from weight/power ratio 16 pounds per hp and less. Cx3 has kinda 20. Nippy but not pocket rocket.

[@vitalisjakubauskas9567]

PS. Britishes would say "king of B roads". Meaning driving at narrow, curvy and not too smooth roads.

[@snow_cornice7086]

I was wondering as buick encore 2017 ( here in europe mokka x , released recently ) comes with more rear room & commanding view and more equipped , why mazda cx3 ? I know cx3 is one of the best (if i dont say the best ) among cuv 2016-2017 ! The only thing i can think of is the engine 1.4 turbo vs 2 Natural A .

[@snow_cornice7086]

I forgot to mention ; i hope to see a review on 2017 encore from you . Thanks :)

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Hidden Spy, thanks for watching our video. Unfortunately we do not represent Buick so I will not be able to do a video on the new Encore. I do greatly appreciate that you want to see that from me however, that is a big compliment!

[@vitalisjakubauskas9567]

Opel Mocca???😒 This car as a SUV is the same as a bullit from piece of...mud😆😆😆 When I meet it on German roads , I have an impression I see the lizard , who 've lost its teil

[@WylunCustoms]

Another solid review! Aint no 2017 Tucson though! Lol jk. But ya i actually considered this car also in my search but it was just too small. I like the interior alot though. But definately a car in its own class

[@kevinguerra378]

mazda= asian audi

[@omarmatos2014]

Do you know if you can get the grand touring without the moon roof?

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

That would be nice! But no, Mazda doesn't allow to deselect that option.

[@Warcraftx2]

Hello everyone this cx3 reworked? or still same 2015 model cx3?

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Hi Oliver Quiin, this 2017 Mazda CX-3 is the same as when it was born in 2015. It is not very often that a manufacturer makes changes to a vehicle in just two model years.

[@JohnHD24]

Is this a diesel?

[@JohnDoe-md2sb]

@JohnHD24. Probably not. I think it's only available for the European market.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Mazda confuses me; in the Mazda 3 you get power seats and a power (hand) brake. In the CX-3 you don't get those things. I'd want the AWD utility, but at the same time I want power seats and a power brake would be nice.

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Ontario Andrews I can totally understand your confusion. To help alleviate it, here is a bit of background info. The CX-3 is actually built on the Mazda2 platform, thus it's smaller stature, engine and content. The CX-5 is built using the Mazda3 platform, so you can equip it with extras such as the power drivers seat and it has the electronic parking brake. Perhaps with a redesign in the future Mazda will include these things in the CX-3, who knows! Thanks for checking out our video, subscribe so you don't miss out on our weekly flicks!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Okcool. Thanks for your response. Cheers!

[@unexpected8377]

I like the design but the interior space is not livable. Thats why I bought an HRV instead.

[@tandd7508]

I like this jacket on you better that other green bubble jacket-Yuck , great review as usual but I am gonna notice your clothes lol 👀. Why dIdnt you show the hand rest storage container and the glove compartment I like to see if they have space.

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

Lol I'm wearing that jacket in this video, it is zipped into the black outer shell. I try to cover the major areas of the cars, but not everything can get shown unless I make a full length movie (not going to happen btw). Thanks for subscribing to our channel!

[@TechGently]

I'm 5'6" unless you're 4'11" better to go with CX-5

[@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup]

I concur!

[@dthompsont3796]

Maybe you are trying to compensate for your short stature.....

[@stenodiva777]

I am 4', 11" and had the CX5 for over a week....I felt lost inside!!

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

Maybe go on a diet , im 5'11 195lbs and fit perfectly fine in the drivers seat .

[@TechGently]

@@Spiritcr1jsher I'm 150lbs, just saying that it's a small vehicle. Most likely you'll fit, but with no friends to travel with you, you'll probably be fine.

[@takuan650]

I like the car but the interior color scheme is vomit inducing. I hope they have better looking seats and trim. Good review.

[@philcomo3366]

Rose colour glasses view

[@Onry1]

146hp 2.0? Fords 2.0 is 245hp...

[@nicholasdunn3897]

With a turbo...

[@Onry1]

@@nicholasdunn3897 99extra hp with a lil turbo? right...

[@daniellucas773]

lmao yeah but its a ford. Say goodbye to that 2.0 in 200k miles and yes a small little turbo has the ability to add that much HP.

[@Onry1]

@@daniellucas773 and the Mazda would fair better? LOL

[@daniellucas773]

@@Onry1 yes for sure lol my dad has too many fords, all of them are pos so I will never buy one. 2 f350s, 2 f250s, 2 F150s, and a flex. All have substantial issues around 200k miles. Me and him are mechanics and the work we've done to them definitely turned me off from them. Imports are all around better. Atleast from honda, toyota, and mazda from what I've seen and owned. Could just be a bad bunch from ford, but 7 vehicles? I don't think so

why u always focus on ur face not the car!
